Concrete Concept – Brutalist Buildings From Around The World by Christopher Beanland (Frances Lincoln)

Brutalism is essentially those concrete buildings you either love or loath, with this 192-page book from Frances Lincoln pulling together 50 of the finest, from Preston Bus Station to Brasilia’s Pálacio de Justiça and much in-between.

As an added bonus, there is also an A-Z of brutalist architecture featured here, written by self-confessed fan of the movement Jonathan Meades.

Its a book that might struggle to convert people who write these buildings off as concrete monstrosities, but with a growing number of converts to the cause, this should find a place on a number of shelves.

The release date us 4th February 2016, with pre-orders being taken now for £20.
